HAMBURG, SEPT. 28, 1836. 0 UR Friends, and all those who may have to write to us, are requested to be particular in directing, HEINE BROTHERS, in HAMBURG, and to observe, that a letter with one inclosure doubles the Postage only, but several enclosures would by far increase the. same. Thus 101., 201., or 301., for instance, if remitted in One Bank of Eng land Note would only cause double Postage, but 101. remitted in two notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there fore most advisable, for any Person having to remit Money to Ham burgh, to forward the amount in One Note; or having to receive Money from Hamburgh, to receive the same in One Note, when ever possible. Of course remittances from Hamburgh to England, stirpassing the usual amount of One Bank of England Note, may rather be made in Bills of Exchange, on London. To save expenses that may as well be avoided, we request our Correspondents not to overlook these particulars. HEINE BROTHERS.

The dignified rebuke which the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland administered to the Recorder of Dublin, alias Mr. FRED. SHAW, who had the bad taste to intro duce political allusions into the presence-chamber, has galled the supporters of the Orange faction on both sides of the water. The Learned Gen tleman, no doubt, thought it a fine oppor tunity to show off his zeal for exclusion and intolerance, because though not of the brightest order of intellects, lie had sense enough to perceive that the occasion would in this instance counteract the efrects of his own insignificance. A speech, howeve leaden in itself, he imagined, would and %N.in:7,s, if deli. vered in the Castle of Dublin, and at the presentation of the LORD MAYOR to the Representative of Ma jesty. The Learned Recorder was not mistaken in this part of his calculation. The stuff which would have otherwise passed unheeded has obtained notoriety ; but the orator assuredly did not rec%on upon its being accompanied with such an address as that which was delivered by Lord MtmortAvE. If he had, sure we arc, his tongue would have cleaved to the roof of his mouth before he would have wagged it in the cause of faction ; for so far from assisting that cause, he, has, in this case, been the instrument—an unwilling one we grant—of conferring an important benefit on the Irish people. The promptitude with which the Lo:d Lieutenant seized the opportunity of neutralizing the malignity of the Recorder's speech, is a point on which we need not dwell. Every one knows the talents of Lord MOLGRA vE, and this is only another proof of their superiority, as it shows that, brilliant as they are, they arc in readiness for every day's use, and not such as arc applicable only 'to holiday purposes, and pre arranged displays. The point which is of more con sequence, and to which we would more particularly direct the attention of our readers, is the matter of this unpremeditated address. They will find in it a brief but admirable sketch, of the pulpy( s fur which Muni cipal Corporations were first framed, and of the im portant influence which these Institutions have exercised on civilization. Their popular character—their tendency to unite society in the strictest bonds of amity,..vhen pro perly administered—are traced with a master's hand; and when the Noble Lord concluded, the loudest approbation followed the glowing and eloquent expression of his belief, that Ireland was yet destined to derive the same benefit from Corporations which they had conferred upon England and Scotland. We have received advices from San Sebastian to the 28th ult. The condition of the British Legion is wonderfully improved. Not a trace of the spirit of insubordination which formerly disgraced it now re mains. The perfect dccility of the men contrasts as wonderfully with their recent dogged obstinacy, as their clean and strictly military appearance does with their late disregard of all discipline. Drunkenness has dis appeared among them ; and a mutual confidence has grown up between the officers and the men, which in action must be productive of the best results. The privates are all strongly attached to General EVANS, who, by his leniency towards those convicted of insub ordination by Courts-martial—his strict attention to the wants of the men, and strenuous efforts to provide them with necessaries—and above all, his known de termination to stand or fall with the Legion, has suc ceeded in making for himself as many devoted followers as there are men in the Legion. The full amount guaranteed by MENDrZABAL for the payment of the arrears of the Legion (25,0001.) is now its the course of remittance. To preve n t th e accumulation of future ar rears a real a - day is paid to the men out of their current monthly wages, which is expended under the direction of the officers. Feod is . abundant, and of the best quality. As we anticipated in a former article, the Legion will not commence operations on the offensive till General ESPARTERO has placed himself at the head of the Army of the North. General RODIL has already addressed a most friendly letter to General EvANs, in which he blames General CORDOVA for not af fording him the necessary succours, and assures him that when he shall have joined the army, the British troops shall find in him a friend ever willing to co operate with them in the deliverance of Spain from the common enemy. He applauds the prudence of General EVANS, in not uselessly exposing his men before the Army of the North shall have made a diversion in his favour. This communication, in con junction with the friendly advices received from the new President of the Council and the Minister of Finance, has diffused a general joy _throughout the ranks. On the 17th, Colonel DE LANCEY arrived at San Sebastian from Madrid, having completed his pecuniary arrangements with the Government. The way from the capital to Santander was then open and perfectly safe. An important change was about to take place in the arrangement of the Commissariat Department, but the details have not yet been communicated to us. The .hollowness of France on the Spanish question is still insisted upon by the Bayonne and San Sebas tian correspondents of our Morning Contemporaries. It is therefore most unjust on the part of the French Ministerial journals, to charge us with cast ing aspersions upon the Administration of Count MOLE, without having previously attended to the opinions of persons who are eye-witnesses of the part taken by France in the affairs of Spain. When this charge was first made by the Jour nal des Debats, our refutation of it consisted in copying from the correspondence of a Ministerial Morning Contemporary, a statement of facts which had the effect of silencing our Gallic accusers. We will adopt the same. plan now. The following extract from a letter dated " San Sebastian, Sept. 26," is copied from the Chronicle of this morning : The grand obstacle to the finishing of this disastrous war is French hollowness—French faithlessness. In addition to the well-known fact of supplies being sent to the Carlists, whole sale, across the French frontier, I can assure you that a num. bcr of boats, under the French flag, go from France to Ber me°, Lequetio, and other small ports on this coast, occupied by the rebels. They take provisions and merchandise, accord ing to outward appearance, but it is probable that they also convey munition of war to the Carlists. I presume the Bri tish naval co-operative force would not, from delicacy, capture any vessels bearing the French flag ; but it is essential that this additional active infringement of the Quadriparte Treaty by the French should be discontinued ; in short, Don Carlos has not any better friends than the French. The men at the out-posts continue to cry out to the Queen's sentinels, " The French have deserted you ; the new French Legion is broken up ! El Rey (the King, i. e. Carlos V.) is gone to Madrid !" The French Ministerial Journals are welcome to maize what comments they please upon this statement. If they can prove its non-authenticity, we shall be - - - happy to give currency to a fact which will go a great way towards retrieving the honour of the Cabinet. But words are insufficient for , this. Mere assertions are worth nothing in a case of this kind. The sin cerity of all professions made by the present Govern ment of France can only be tested by the acts which are proposed to embody them. The Princess Victoria is said to be accomplished in a high degree. She speaks with fluency and elegance nearly all the modern European languages, is a proficient in Latin, and has made great progress in the mathematics ; she is also an excellent musician, and frequently assisted at the private con certs that were given in the season at the Palace at Kensing ton. Her Royal Highness will be declared of age next May. The Duchess-Countess of Sutherland has been en tertaining the Marquis and Marchioness of Hastings and a select party at Dunrobin Castle, near Dornoch. The amuse ments instituted by her Grace for her guests during the day were varied by rational entertainments in the spacious drawing rooms at night. The Duke of Sutherland will inherit Dun robin Castle after the decease of his noble mother. The Attorney-General and Lady Stratheden arrived here (Cupar) on a visit to Sir John's brother, Sir George Campbell, of Eclenwood, on Friday last. We understand tint Sir John is to prolong his present visit to Scotland for two or three weeks. A numerous body of the inhabitants, in conjunction with the Reformers of the county, we understand, have resolved upon inviting our distinguished townsman to a public dinner, as a mark of respect to him individually, and as a testimony of their approval of the principles of the Mel b3urna Administration. Captain Erskine Wcmyss is to take the chair.—Fife Herald. Baron Maltitz (brother to Baron F. Maltitz, the Russian Charge d'Affaires here) arrived at Ashburnham House, on Sunday, from Rio de Janeiro, where he has been filling the post of Russian Minister. The Baron's successor, the Ch?valit‘r Lomonosoff, had arrived safely before his de parture, after a passage of forty-seven days from Falmouth. There is no truth in the report of an intended mar riage hc. , t , geen J. Mackenzie, Esq., son of Sir James Mae henzie, and the Hon. Miss Maynard, daughter of Viscount Maynard. Lord Forester is entertaining a fashionable circle at Willey Park, Shropshire. The Marquis of Granby, the Earls and Countesses of Chesterfield and Darlington, Lord and Lady Albert Conyngham, Lady Augusta Poulctt, Lord Charles Manners, Major and the Misses Forester, are amonc , the vi sitors. Great improvements have been made at Willey, after the designs of several men of taste. The Commandor of the Forces in Ireland has com pleted his. staff The Hon. Captain Bruce and Lieutenant Arthur Fitzroy Somerset (son of Lord Fitzroy Somerset), of the Grenadier Guards, are appointed Aides-de-Camp to the Lieut.-General, and Major Greaves, of the 34th, Military Se cretary. Colonel Lord F. Fitzclarence, now Assistant-Ad'u tant-General to the forces, will receive, it is said, the brevet of Major-General, to enable him to hold the appointment of the command of the Dublin districts, vice Sir E. Blakeney. The farmers this year need not be at all afraid of not obtaining a remunerating price for well-hcused corn. The zip prehension need rather be that the price will be higher than the general interests of the community render desirable. Fish is, throughout Norway, the basis of every re past, and meat a secondary object. Four meals a day form the regular fare in every family, and with two of these the labour ers have a glass of home-made brandy, distilled from potatoes. —Laing's Journal. One hundred hogsheads of pilchards were taken up this week at Sennen, near the Land's End, and sold fresh to the country people at low prices. Thursday the 29th ult., being the anniversary of the birth of the Earl of Eglington, the day was observed by flags being displayed from vessels in the harbour of Ardrossan, dis charges of guns from the heights, a flag waving from the top of the venerable tower, a public dinner at the hotel, the ring ing of bells at Salteoats, and other demonstrations of joy. Entertainments were given, and most numerously attended by his Lordship's tenants, and others in Kilwinning, Irvine, &e. The operatives of the city of Worcester in the Li beral interest arc about to dine together, in order to demon strate that there is no foundation for the statement of a " re action" in opinion and political sentiment having taker, place in the great body of that class here.— Worcester Herald. The Jury Court, which had been sitting for some days in Glasgow, was adjourned at seven o'clock on Wednes day, on account, we are sorry to say, of the indisposition of Lord Jeffrey, who was confined to bed in the George Inn there on Thursday. His Lordship is labouring under a severe cold. Caledonian Mercury. A gentleman who has recently travelled through the southern parts of Ireland declares that the wretched state of the peasantry, as to•their filthy cots, or dwellings, and the ex hibition of poverty and misery, is far beyond what he found in South Africa among the Caffres, where he travelled nearly two years. Are the poor Irish to be left in this ignorant and wretched state ? We are happy to announce that our own county will not be behind in contributing its quota to what we trust will, in a short time, prove itself a national manifestation of political sentiment. Our distinguished townsman, Sir John Campbell, the Attorney-General, has consented, we under stand, to accept of a public dinner, at which the Gallant Mem ber for the county is to preside, when we have not the smallest doubt that the demonstration will be worthy of the occasion. The day is not yet fixed, but will speedily be made public.—A Fife Herald. On Wednesday last at the Frome Petty Sessions, a woman named Watts, stood charged with. her paramour, Jen nings, with an attempt to poison her husband. Watts, the husband, stated, that having seine reason to suspect that ar senic had been mixed with the sugar intended for his tea, he had, by way of experiment, given a portion of it to a dog, which caused the animal's death. The woman and Jennings were discharged on this complaint for want of sufficient evi dence to criminate them, but Jennings was held to bail for using threatening language towards the husband.—Hereford Times. The late Sir Robert Graham Knt., who w3s several years one of the Judges of the Exchequer, and who last week * died in his ninety-third year, was a most remarkable man. H e retained his faculties to the last, walked firm and upright, took much exercise, and appeared as active a s many hal e persons who were his juniors by thirty years. He seldom en tered a carriage, and preferred walking to any other exercise. He was eighty-five years of age hefere he retired, and sat on the bench alternately with five Chief Barons of the Exchequer. A discovery has just been made at Marseilles of a family of coiners. About six months ago a dentist and his family Came to that town, who for some time appeared very needy, but on a sudden lived in great style, and purchased several houses. The change gave rise to some gossip, but no suspi cion of criminal practices was entertained. On the morning of the 25th ult., a party of revenue officers having surrounded the house next that of the dentist, to search for contraband goods, the latter and his family manifested so much alarm that suspicion arose, and it was resolved to search his house. The secret was now revealed, the most positive proof of coin ing being obtained. in all nine p ersons, were i mme di ate l y arreste d. The whole family, together with a friend or tAwos oble Pole , Pole, aged 105, res idi n g on one of the es t a t es of the Countess Malachowska, in the palatinate of Lublin, married about four years ago a young woman of 22, and has by her a son now about two years old. This vene rable patriarch served under Joseph 11. : but does not appear to be more than 70, and moves with all the activity of a young man, never making use of a staff for his support. He is full of intelligence, and converses with great animation. This is his fourth wife, and he has children by his former mar ridges, who are from 60 to 80 years old.—French Paper. LITERATURE. VIOLET WOODVILLE. 2 Vols. Colburn, London, 1836. The author of this clever tale has taken prodigious pains to throw a veil of refinement and high-wrought sentiment over the impracticable character of an opera-dancer. He has represented his heroine, Violet Woodville, as the im personation of all female moral and physical loveliness ; as being exquisitely beautiful without knowing it ; coy and diffident, with the applauses of a fashionable audience ring ing nightly in her ears ; virtuous to a most astringent degree, with all the West-end roues at her feet ; devotedly attached to her father, whose heart she breaks ; and filled with the starchest notions of maiden purity, at the very moment when she is living publicly as the avowed mistress of a sentimental scamp of fashion, whose sole recommendations seem to be, that he has " expressive eyes," an " icy sneer," constantly playing about his " finely chiselled mouth," and a knack at throwing off those glib prettinesses of speech which tell so well with boarding-school girls. Vet despite these mani fest inconsistencies, Violet Woodville is a clever work, for it is full of sprightly dialogue, apt touches of sarcasm, and here and there exhibits an impassioned energy which comes on the reader quite like a surprise, startling him into invo luntary admiration. There is also evidenced in it a power of drawing and sustaining character, as in the instance of the under-bred coquette, Emily Norris, who, notwithstand ing she tries hard to do so, cannot altogether divest herself of heart ; and the old French dancing-master, Monsieur Du pas, a delightful compound of coxcombry and simplicity, who, as is said of old Vestris, thinks that the art of pirou etting is the noblest and most intellectual art in the world. Nor must we omit to mention the well-sustained sketch of Mr. Harcourt, a dull fool of fashion, the victim of ennui, and to whose lethargic faculties even the gambling-table can impart no excitement. In these three characters we recognise truth, spirit, and consummate powers of observa tion ; but as for the lack-a-daisical heroine, who kneels down to kiss the dust from off her father's feet, at the very moment when she has secretly resolved on an act that sends that father broken-hearted, and a madman, to his grave, we have no patience with the maudlin, fancy-bazaar-like show of specious and glittering sensibility of which the character is made up. It may enlist the sympathies of a West-end drawing-room in its behalf, but sure we are it will find no favour with the healthier and more inartificial portion of the community. If we must have love scenes in novels, let them at least be such as we find in the Scotch novels, or.in the sterling, right-minded pages of Miss Austen. We shall be glad to find the authoress of " Violet Woodville "—for the tale bears traces of a femalepen--.devoting her unquestion able talents to the portraiture of characters which may be ntelligible ten miles from Hyde Park-corner, instead of .hose whose purely conventional sensibilities can only be appreciated among the fashionable coteries. SOUTHEY'S COWPER, VoL. 7. Baldwin, London, 1836. The volume before us is wholly composed of the familiar correspondence of Cowper, whose letters, as we have before observed, are among the most delightful in the language, from their unaffected simplicity of thought and expression. The embellishments are two in number. One is a view of East Dereham, a lovely, sylvan landscape, with a monastic edifice in the background, and a well-grouped herd of cattle in front, the intermediate distance being composed of a cottage and garden, in which an old woman is hanging out some linen to dry. The other engraving is a sketch of Cowper's favourite seat at Eartham, where the poet is re presented sitting, with a few friends about him, among whom is Hayley, trying his best to throw into his very ordinary features an expression of refined poetic sensibility. These two embellishments are executed in the very first style of art, by Goodyear and Goodall, from originals de signed by Harvey. CABINET CY CLORZEDIA. No. LXXXIL Longman, London, 1836. The present Number of Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopedia is devoted to biographical sketches of the most eminent statesmen of the time of Louis the Fourteenth. The first memoir is that of Cardinal de Retz, the indefatigable opponent of the Queen Regent Anne of Austria and her favourite Minister, Mazarin, the timidest and most jesuitical of politicians. It is written with spirit, though the wars of the Fronde, of which De Retz was the movincr principle, are not sufficiently dwelt upon ; and without a copious account of the origin and progress of these civil disturbances, it is almost, if not quite, impossible, for the reader to form an estimate of the cardinal's character. To us, acquainted with the sentiments and .prejudices enter tained by modern high Church dignitaries, it must appear little short of miraculous, to find that the leading dema gogue—the Jack Wilks of France—during the minority of the "Grand Monarque," was Ist, Assistant-Archbishop of Paris ; 2dly, of the highest rank in point of birth and con nexions ; 3dly, an unflinching Church Reformer ; and 461 v, a cardinal of the Holy Roman empire—which last dignity,l;y the bye, he wrested as a reward for his seditious practices, from the Prime Minister Ma7arin—the very man whom he had twice banished from Paris! The Life of Colbert, the suc cessor of the wily Italian, and the greatest statesman that France, perhaps the world, ever saw, is penned quite in a con anion. spirit.. Mr. James, the biographer, evidently loves his hero, and accordingly does him every justice, with out unduly burdening him with eulogiums. In the inva riably pacific character of his policy, Colbert bears no slight resemblance to Sir Robert Walpole ; but here the likeness ceases ; the French Minister swas a patriot in the most exalted sense of the term ; while the English Whig was a mere dexterous party man. The one found France low in the scale of nations, and impoverished by the wars of the Fronde, and left her foremost in station, wealthy, united, and contented ; while the other served no other interests than those of his Parliamentary adherents. So long as Colbert was at the helm of affairs, France was daily accumu lating wealth, and making rapid strides in every depart ment of intellect and commerce ; but the instant he was succeeded by his rival Louvois, those . destructive w ars began, which ruined the country, while they threw a halo of false glory round the head of Louis the Fourteenth. Those who wish to 'oef.:orne acquainted with the policy of this stirring period, will do well to peruse attentively Mr. James's" Memoirs of Colbert and Louvois" —the moral of which (and ,a painful moral it is) is this, namely, that those who have clone the most to injure the great interests of humanity, are a thousand times better known, more talked about, and more written about, by poets, novelists, and historians, than those who have exerted their utmost efforts to befriend the human race. For one memoir of the high-minded Colbert, we have dozens of the flashy Louis ; and the mild lustre of the Girondist Roland is wholly eclipsed by the blaze of the Imperial Napoleon. Lord Palmerston is expected in town to-day, from his seat, Oroadlands, Hants. A messenger is daily dispatched to his Lordship with communications from the Foreign Office. The Dowager Countess of Chichester and the Ladies Pelham have gone on a tour. The Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury and Lady G.

BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY. Charles Perry, an insolvent, who was unopposed, applied on his petition to be discharged. The insolvent had been declared a bankrupt since his im prisonment, and his first examination before the Commission ers was fixed for the 10th inst. The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER, to whom the above facts were stated, declined to make the usual inquiries. He observed that the insolvent's schedule, like innumerable others, would swell the list of cases and amount of debts registered in that Court, without any participation being allowed in the distribution of the assets. The consequence of this was that a degree of odium was most unfairly cast upon that Court, as persons would naturally refer to the amount of debts and number of schedules filed in it, forgetful that the property was administered by another tribunal, and it would perhaps be al leged that the creditors on the insolvent's schedule received the smallest dividends out of the property. The creditors should now pursue the property under another system, and all that remained for him was to discharge the insolvent. The insolvent was then discharged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (THISDAT.) BO W- S TREE T. Four gentlemen, named John Dwyer, Charles Chambers Henry Jones, and Edward Scott, were charged before Mr, MtssutlLL ' and Mr. BALLARD , a county magistrate , with creating a disturbance early in the morning. Mr. Sewel deposed that he kept a livery-stable in Arun del-street, Strand. About half-past one o'clock this morning he was awoke by his bell ringing very violently ; he went to the window, and there he saw the prisoners, who demanded a dog from him. He told them he knew nothing about it; there was no dog belonging to them in his stable, and desired them to go away. They used very bad language, and swore they would not leave till they got the dog. They would pull the house down but they would have it. They continued pulling at the bell, making a great disturbance ; he therefore put on some things and went down. He had no sooner arrived at the gate than one of them, he thought it was Scott, but he could not swear it was him, struck him on the face through the bars. A policeman came down, and at tempted to reason with them, but whether he did not properly know his duty, or whether he was afraid, he (witness) did not know, but he refused to take them in charge, and went away. They continued very noisy, and threatened him with severe personal punishment. He opened the gate to get assistance, when Scott put himself in a fighting attitude, and threatened to pitch into him. Luckily for him two other policemen had been alarmed by the violent ringing of the bell, and came up to his assistance. Both he and the policemen tried to per suade them to go away, but they would not, and he gave them in charge. With respect to the dog, all he knew of it was, that about two weeks ago Mr. Chambers, who lodged in Arundel-street, brought two dogs to his groom, who took them in, contrary to his orders. After they had been there three days, he (Mr. Sewel) desired his groom to take them home. He took them away, and told him that he had taken them to another stable, with which the owner was acquainted and satisfied. A neighbour of Mr. Sewel's spoke as to the disturbance. He kept lodgers, who along with himself were much alarmed. The groom gave the same account of the dogs as he had given to his master. The two policemen said, hearing the noise, they went to Mr. Sewel's house, and took charge of the prisoners. As they were walking along the Strand, Jones (who, as also Dwyer and Chambers, were "bearded like a Pard" in the full French fashion) said, " If this was in France we would stick a dagger into you." /V.r. CHAMBERS desired the prisoners to give an account of themselves. Scott said he was an officer in the Navy ; Jones, an officer in the army ; Chambers said he was a private gentle man, and Dwyer said people usually called him a gentleman, and sometimes went so far as to call him esquire. Chambers then said that the groom had told him that he had put the dogs into another place. He had got one of them, and yesterday went three times to get the other, but could not. Ile went at so late an hour because he had paid his passage to France for this morning, which was now lost. They were naturally violent, for a man looking out of a window on the complainant's premises told them the dog was confined in a back stable. Scott denied that he struck Mr. Sewel, though he had threatened him, because he thought he did not use them fairly about the dog, and his language was as bad as their's. Jones strenuously denied that he had made use of one of the words attributed to him by the policemen. Mr. Sewel said he was afraid of all the prisoners. He knew none of them, but they were all equally violent to him in threats. Mr. MTNsnuI.L said he would hold the owner of the dog (Chambers), and the one who used such threats to the police men (Jones), to bail, two housekeepers in 501. each. The other two must find bail for 201. Mr. BALLARD concurred, and the prisoners were locked up. PRICES OF LEATHER Per lb d. to d. I Per lb 0. toe.

Henry Kent, a young man of respectable appearance, was this morning brought before Mr. WEDGWOOD, charged by his wife, a pretty young woman, with threatening to shoot her with a pistol, last night, at their residence in Webber-street, near the Victoria Theatre. Susannah Kent stated, that about nine o'clock last night her husband came home in a state of intoxication, and without any provocation on her part, he took a loaded pistol from his coat pocket, and threatened to shoot her. The pistol missed fire, fortunately, and by that means her life was saved. Mr. WEDGWOOD inquired if the complainant thought it was the intention of her husband to shoot her. Mrs. Kent said that he was very much in liquor, and she did not think he knew what he was about. Mr. Wanawoon—Has he ever attempted to do so before ? The complainant, after some hesitation, admitted that he had. The husband, when called upon to answer the charge, stated that his wife last Sunday attempted to poison herself. On the day previous she had been to the shop of a Mr. Sewell, in the New-cut, and obtained what she supposed was arsenic, telling Mr. Sewell she wanted it to kill rats. This she took on Sunday, and immediately told the defendant what she had done. He instantly went to Mr. Sewell, who told him what he had sold her was only cream of tartar, observing that he was not such a fool as to sell a woman arsenic. With respect to the pistol, it was not loaded, and his wife knew it was not. Mr. WEDGWOOD—WeII, do you wish your husband to be held to bail ? Do you consider that you stand in fear of your life? If so, you have stated quite enough to me to call on him to find bail. Mrs. Kent inquired if finding bail would be a punishment to him, and on being told by the worthy magistrate that if she required bail, he would be locked up till he found it, she hesi tated what answer she should make. Mr. WEDGWOOD—You are much better able than I am to judge whether your husband will carry his threats into execu tion ; if you think he will make another attempt you ought to call upon him to find bail. Mrs. Kent said she had no doubt he would, and she firmly believed she was not safe. Mr. WEDGWOOD ordered the defendant to find bail, himself in 401., and two sureties of 201. each, to keep the peace to all his Majesty's subjects, but more especially his wife. The defendant, on hearing this, gave his wife a most ex pressive look, exclaiming as he left the bar, " Very well, madam—thank you, madam." - It is expected that his Majesty at the Privy Coun cil tomorrow will receive the Recorder's report of the con victs under sentence of death in Newgate. The case of Wil liams, who effected such a miraculous escape from Newgate, has not yet been reported to the King. The Duke of Brunswick and suite arrived at the Plough Hotel, Cheltenhatri, on Wednesday last ; it was ex pected his Grace would sojourn there a few days. The Duke of Rutland has arrived from Haddon Hall at Belvoir Castle, where he intends to remain until the October Newmarket races, at which his Grace will be present. The Marchioness of Abercorn is still at the spa cious chateau (Bently Priory) waiting the return of the Mar quis from the Doune, in the Highlands of Scotland, which is expected to take place in the course of the ensuing week. They intend proceeding on the Ist of November to Barons' Court, in Ireland. The Italian Opera will open (as previously an nounced) on Saturday next, for the season. Bellini's I Puri tani is selected for the occasion, supported as formerly by Rubini, Lablache, Tamburini, and Mme. Grisi. In the course of the season three new operas, composed expressly for the artistes of this theatre, will be produced—Malek Add, La Tarantola, and Idelgonda.—Galignani. SWAN RIVER ASSOCIATION.—On Friday last the Chairman and Directors of this Association gave an ele gant dinner, at the Albion Tavern, to their friends, and some gentlemen who are on the eve of leaving this country to reside in that improving colony. Despatches, dated the 3d May, were received yes terday morning at the Colonial Department from Sir Robert Wilmot Horton, Bart., the Governor of Ceylon ; also from the Governor of the Bahamas ; and from the officers commanding in the Gambia. By advices from Odessa we learn that the new wheat had began to appear in the market, and was of exceedingly good quality, and had met an animated sale. The price was 11 roubles to 16 roubles per chetwert. By commercial advices from Smyrna, yesterday, we learn that the fig crop would be less than that of last year, but that the quality would be fine, and the price higher. The market for cotton goods had been rather active. Woollen goods were in good demand. A public sale of 600 bags of coffee had taken place, which brought 635 piastres. Sugars were abundant, and with little doing. Nothing wa s doing in other articles.

The plot is as follows :—The of the Spanish family of Marana is decorated by a can group reprounting a good genius triumphing over cn is one (personated by Miss Tidy and 0. Smith), and sui.lh the pecular destiny of the house, that when some atrocu.'.; deed is committed hy one of the family Le evil g enius he rescued from his bondage. Leon, the heir (Lyon) , is worthy fit to accomplish this end. He stabs a monk, v‘h ° ! wishes to make his dying father sign a will in favour of an mansion illegitimate brother, finally carries off this brot her's betrothier, el, wins the money, lands, and even the mistress (!) of a cava oug h l whom he, in a mere trial of skill, subsequen tl y runs thr the body, and cracks heartless jokes, when the unfortunate mistress poisons herself. Bad as this gentle man is, his good spirit thinks him retrievable. She casts off her angelic form and takes the shape of a nun to make him fall in love with her, and by this extraordinary contrivance to bring him t.° repentance. He does fall in love with her , but unluclolY his passion is not so pure as the p oor angel expected she' therefore, as a dernier coup, turns her cell into a cemetery where stand the monuments of the monk, the cavalier, am; the lady. Leon is not to be daunted, but draws his sworu and defies them all. The infernal regions' open , and be comes a victim to the fiend, in spite of the angel's e xertion t . , n, to whom he might exclaim with Voltaire's Memnon, 1 Food genii are so little service I do not see the use of them in one's family." This piece is, as may be seen at a glance (with the exception of the angelic part) , a version of D°l Juan, three murders being committed instead of one, an consequently three statues defied. Smith acted as diabo lically as could be wished ; Buckstone, in a disconnected comic part, with much humour ; and the rest respectablY• Several of the scenes, especially the last, were beautiful. THE HOP TRADE. ma t The Hop market last week closed without any variation. Fully as high prices as those of our last cur' rency have been obtained for fine samples ; but the supPli has now become too large to admit of any thing like a el enr i ance being effected, and we should call the middling a n inferior runs of Weald of Kent and Sussex rather heal than otherwise.
